NoKo test is Paki and Paki test NoKo. I am almost certain that the next NoKo test will be TN.

North Korea and Pakistan: a joint nuclear test? Old debate rekindled by Khan revelations "David E. Sanger and William J. Broad International Herald Tribune , 02-28-2004 The revelations about the international nuclear trading of the Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan have rekindled a debate ...

For most of us this report is old news that there is very high possibility that TSP and NoKo conducted a joint test in 1998 (Kharan).

If Santhanam's expose had not occurred, ElBaradei who received the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, would instead be commending India for agreeing to CTBT. Arun , Well for argument sake Lets say what Santhanam say is true and we do not have a weaponised TN , the GOI along with its principle oppositio...

The 20 kT NoKo nuclear test on 25 May 2009 was join testing by NoKo and TSPakistan, where Pu came from TSPakistan , and it was a boosted fission device. Via China I presume? It can't go the other way due to US, Yindu's etc. Why China? Via China, versus overflying China are two different thing, form...

The 20 kT NoKo nuclear test on 25 May 2009 was join testing by NoKo and TSPakistan, where Pu came from TSPakistan, and it was a boosted fission device. That joint test erodes any semblence of Boosted fission advantage that India might have had w.r.t. TSP (what to speak of China). India thus must for...

El-Baradei was in New Delhi getting an award from GOI for the NSG waiver etc. So now the "debate" is being framed as CTBT versus NPT!!! Do not expect India to sign NPT in present form: ElBaradei quote]International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohammad ElBaradei has said that he ...

............. Indeed thats what the PIB press release from GOI says. He was not privy. quote]Dr. Chidambaram wondered how without the knowledge of the design, the nature of fission-fusion break-up and quantity of thermo-nuclear material, Mr. Iyengar could calculate the efficiency the fuel burnt as ...

He should point out why he still supports some international experts on the Seismic part of the tests, when Sikka has given a technical rebuttal. As I understand, the game had long ago moved away from the use of support of international experts from KS end. He is now clearly talking of the establis...

Dinesha thats right , all these things were discussed in BRF , but that was 1998 and people have grown older now.

Calculations by experts on here show that 17 kt was the yield of S1 - claim by Arun_S [/list] Please substantiate when and where did I claimed that, for you to attribute the above falsity to me?

We all learn, interpret and assess what other's produce. With due respect to Bharat Karnad and Brahma Chellaney, they are no more qualified than I am - and less so in the operational use of nuclear weapons - and I do not consider myself an "expert". With due respect, could you please qual...

Looks like other shoe will fall off in ~ 3 weeks. Figures will not lie Ajai Shukla / New Delhi September 28, 2009, 0:43 IST His denunciation of India’s thermonuclear test on May 11, 1998 (Shakti-I), has generated a furious debate over whether India’s nuclear deterrent is actually credible. But now, ...

RC conveniently forgot to consider such trivial aspect of the 1990 vintage 'S1' TN design, . The FBF primary was no ordinary FBF its fusion yield was ~15-20% , That Na22 and Mg54 signature on its own is meaningless proof of success of Fusion stage. Can you post the source for the bolded part please...

>>>A lot of people are falling for rhetoric that its BRF that is assigning the yields etc when its from official sources. And that leads to Homeric positions. Ramana, But how can you attribute what FAS says to RC? If you are nitpicking and saying it is not BRF but FAS which had mentioned about 300 ...

RC itself has not been consistent with what he said about TN test , immediately after POK 2 he claimed that the device can scale up to 300 kT ( ~ 45 - 300 kT ). No. The 300kt figure comes from BR web pages. RC said 200kt. That has not changed. Really ! http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/India/IndiaSha...

Two things we must remember: 1. The people who are saying that the TN fizzled are from a varied background. They are former nuclear scientists, even BARC heads, RAW men from DRDO, we even had the geologist from the seismic monitoring station chipping in with the yield measured being less than what ...

I have this hunch that KS was expecting even the 43 kt one to produce the 72 m crater as thats around ~225 feet. Instead there was this hardly disturbed surface. He doesnt want to claim more than what was tested. His arguement is even that didnt happen. Infact the above hunch is very close to reali...

Deterrence wise in actual terms India is way behind TSP. One may ask what should be the punishment melted out to people responsible for putting India into this state? In India, it will be more promotions. In any nation that valued its independence, people responsible would have been part of a rock b...

Not sure but I would have thought that you would inevitably get an enormous range increase and as such simulating the same would have required some serious trajectory depression. In addition, would the RV withstand the greater re-entry heat and speed ? Well that is the purpose of proving the RV. De...
